One of the world's best string quartets, the Grammy®-winning Takács return with their trademark blend of drama, spirit, and levity. Imbuing fervor and fresh insight into each piece, these musicians are the perfect match for the intimacy of the Terrace Theater, as the group "knows how to use a warm, inviting acoustic to make a listener lean in and savor tiny musical details" (Washington Classical Review). Star pianist Garrick Ohlsson, “a musician of magisterial interpretive and technical prowess” (The Seattle Times), joins the Takács for Elgar’s Piano Quintet.

A double welcome hug! One for returning favorites, the Takács… and one for new guest Garrick Ohlsson, a pianist of enormous stature. Together they’ll perform one of my favorite chamber music masterpieces, the Elgar Quintet, a piece of unbridled imagination and deeply felt emotions—truly a grand farewell gesture to a world gone by. As if that’s not enough, preceding the Elgar are two valedictory works from Haydn and Bartók.
